[etherlab-users] Starter: Examining Slave questions

[Ulf Stelbe]

Hello, just a starter question regarding the ethercat master. I try to be a
friend with a servo amplifier, but it is not telling me the secrets.
I just tried the following commands: ethercat master, slaves, and sii_read,
the result is shown below.  

Next I wanted to see the configuration (ethercat config) and the sdo's and
pdo's (ethercat sdos, pdos) but I got nothing (no error, the app returned
immediately without any output).

Any help is appreciated. Is there something I forgot? I searched in the
mailing list threads but without success. Perhaps someone can point me to
the right place.

Thanks in advance

Ulf
